Weekly Petroleum Status Report/Energy Information Administration
Preface
The Weekly Petroleum Status Report (WPSR) provides timely information on supply and selected prices of crude oil and principal
petroleum products. It provides the industry, press, planners, policymakers, consumers, analysts, and State and local governments with
a ready, reliable source of current information.
Petroleum supply data presented in the WPSR describe supply and disposition of crude oil and petroleum products in the United States
and major U.S. regions called Petroleum Administration for Defense (PAD) Districts. Geographic coverage in the WPSR includes the
50 States and District of Columbia. U.S. territories are treated as import sources but are otherwise excluded from weekly petroleum
supply statistics. Petroleum supply data include field production, imports and exports, inputs and production at refineries and blending
terminals, production from gas processing plants and fractionators, and inventories at refineries, terminals, pipelines, and fractionators.
Crude oil inventories include Alaskan crude oil in transit by water. Aggregated weekly petroleum supply statistics are used for calculation
of products supplied, which is an approximation of U.S. petroleum demand.
The supply data contained in this report are based primarily on company submissions for the week ending 7:00 a.m. the preceding
Friday. Selected data are released electronically after 10:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) each Wednesday.
Price data presented in the WPSR include world crude oil contract prices, spot prices of crude oil and major products in major U.S. and
world markets, futures prices of crude oil and major products on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), and retail prices of
gasoline and on-highway diesel fuel. During the heating season, wholesale and retail prices of propane and residential heating oil are
also provided. Collectively, these price series provide a comprehensive and timely view of current U.S. and world prices of crude oil
and major petroleum products.
Weekly price data are collected as of 8:00 a.m. every Monday. Weekly retail gasoline and on-highway diesel prices are first available
around 5:00 p.m. EST on Monday (Tuesday when Monday is a Federal holiday). Wholesale and retail propane and residential heating
oil prices are released electronically after 10:30 a.m. EST each Wednesday during the heating season (October through mid-March). The
daily spot and futures prices are provided by Reuters, Inc.

1 Includes those domestic and Customs-cleared foreign crude oil stocks held at refineries, in pipelines, in lease tanks, and in transit to refineries.
2 Includes non-U.S. stocks held under foreign or commercial storage agreements.
3 Excludes stocks located in the "Northeast Heating Oil Reserve." For details see Appendix C.
4 Includes weekly data for NGPLs and LRGs (except propane/propylene), kerosene, and asphalt and road oil; and estimated stocks of minor products based on monthly data.
5 Includes lease condensate.
6 Formerly known as Unaccounted-for Crude Oil, this is a balancing item. See Glossary for further explanation.
7 Formerly known as Natural Gas Liquids Production, prior to June 4, 2010, this included adjustments for fuel ethanol and motor gasoline blending components.
8 Includes denaturants (e.g. Pentanes Plus), other oxygenates (e.g. ETBE and MTBE), and other renewables (e.g. biodiesel).
9 Includes finished petroleum products, unfinished oils, gasoline blending components, fuel ethanol, and NGPLs and LRGs.
10 Includes an estimate of minor product stock change based on monthly data.
11 Includes monthly adjustments for hydrogen and other hydrocarbon production.
12 Total Product Supplied = Crude Oil Input to Refineries (line 14) + Other Supply Production (line 15) + Net Product Imports (line 21) – Stock Change (line 24) + Adjustment (line 25).
13 See Table 2, footnote #3.
14 Other Oil Product Supplied = Total Product Supplied (line 26) less the product supplied of Finished Motor Gasoline (line 27), Kerosene-Type Jet Fuel (line 28), Distillate Fuel Oil (line
29), Residual Fuel Oil (line 30), and Propane/Propylene (line 31).
Notes: Some data estimated (see Sources for clarification). Data may not add to total due to independent rounding. Differences and percent changes are calculated using unrounded

1 Based on the latest reported monthly operable capacity.
2 Calculated as gross inputs divided by the latest reported monthly operable capacity. See Glossary. Percentages are calculated using unrounded numbers.
3 Finished motor gasoline production and product supplied include a weekly adjustment applied only to the U.S. total to correct for the imbalance created by blending of fuel ethanol
and motor gasoline blending components. From 1993 to June 4, 2010, this adjustment was estimated from the latest monthly data and allocated to formulation and PAD District
production data.
4 Excludes adjustments for fuel ethanol and motor gasoline blending components. Historical data prior to June 4, 2010 includes the adjustment allocated by PAD District and
formulation.
5 Adjustment to correct for the imbalance created by the blending of fuel ethanol and motor gasoline blending components. For details see Appendix B.
6 Includes propane/propylene production from natural gas plants.

Weekly Petroleum Status Report Explanatory Notes
Overview
The Energy Information Administration’s Quality
Guidelines
The data contained in the Weekly Petroleum Status Report (WPSR)
are subject to separate information quality guidelines issued by
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Department of
Energy (DOE), and Energy Information Administration (EIA). With
available resources, EIA continually works to improve its systems
in order to provide high quality information needed by public and
private policymakers and decision makers. EIA has performance
standards to ensure the quality (i.e., objectivity, utility, and integrity)
of information it disseminates to the public. Quality is ensured and
maximized at levels appropriate to the nature and timeliness of the
disseminated information. Information about EIA’s quality program
is available at http://www.eia.doe.gov/smg/EIA-IQ-Guidelines.html.
Concepts of Product Supply and Demand
Petroleum supply estimates contained in the WPSR are often
interpreted as an approximation of petroleum demand measured as
product supplied. Product supplied is often called “implied” demand
because it is a measure of demand that is implied by disappearance
of petroleum products from facilities and activities in the “primary”
supply chain. Facilities and activities in the primary supply chain
include refineries and blending terminals, gas processing plants and
fractionators, oxygenate producers, importers, exporters, bulk storage
terminals, and pipelines. Total product supplied in the WPSR may
be calculated from petroleum balances reported in Table 1. Total
product supplied for crude oil and petroleum products is equal to
crude oil input to refineries (line 14) + Other Supply Production (line
15) + net imports(line 21) - Stock Change (line 24) + Adjustment
(line 25). Product supplied for individual products equals production
plus imports minus stock change minus exports. “Crude Oil Supply
Adjustment” (line 13) (formerly called “Unaccounted-for Crude
Oil”) is the balancing item between crude oil supply and disposition.
The secondary supply chain system is that portion of the overall
distribution network that falls between producers and end-users.
Product typically flows in bulk from the primary supply system into
the secondary system before delivery in small quantities to consumers
(the tertiary system). The secondary system includes storage at bulk
plants; at retail motor fuel outlets, such as service stations, truck stops,
and convenience stores; and at retail fuel oil dealers. Bulk plants
are wholesale storage facilities that have less than 50,000 barrels of
storage capacity and, by definition, receive product only by tank car
or truck, not by barge, tanker, or pipeline. Tertiary inventories are
held by end users and include fuel in vehicle tanks, heating oil in
residential tanks, fuel oil held by utilities, jet fuel stored in facilities
operated by end users, and certain proprietary storage of raw materials
for the chemical industry (ethylene, propylene, etc.).
Data users sometimes consider demand as sales to the ultimate
consumer or as the actual consumption of the product. Since there
may be time delays between the movement of product into the primary
34
market and its ultimate purchase or consumption, these definitions of
demand require data on changes in secondary and/or tertiary stocks or
the assumption that these values either remain constant or are small
compared to primary supply. The most recent study of secondary
stocks was done by the National Petroleum Council in 1989. This
study revealed that secondary distillate stocks were equal to about
6.9 percent of distillate stocks and 6.7 percent of distillate storage
capacity. The study also noted that secondary storage capacity was
decreasing due to EPA regulations.
Weekly Petroleum Supply Surveys
The data presented in the WPSR include data collected by the EIA
on seven weekly petroleum supply and two weekly petroleum price
surveys and data released by Reuters Ltd. During the heating months
(October through mid-March), data from a 3rd weekly price survey
are included in Appendix D, “Winter Fuels Heating Prices.”
Weekly Petroleum Supply Reporting System
The seven weekly petroleum supply surveys are part of the Petroleum
Supply Reporting System (PSRS). The PSRS tracks the supply and
disposition of crude oil, petroleum products, and natural gas liquids
in the United States. The PSRS is organized into two data collection
subsystems, the Weekly Petroleum Supply Reporting System
(WPSRS) and the Monthly Petroleum Supply Reporting System
(MPSRS). The WPSRS processes the data from the seven weekly
surveys. The MPSRS includes eight monthly surveys and one annual
survey. The survey forms that comprise the PSRS are:
1.EIA-800, “Weekly Refinery and Fractionator Report,”
2.EIA-801, “Weekly Bulk Terminal Report,”
3.EIA-802, “Weekly Product Pipeline Report,”
4.EIA-803, “Weekly Crude Oil Stocks Report,”
5.EIA-804, “Weekly Imports Report,”
6.EIA-805, “Weekly Bulk Terminal and Blender Report,”
7.EIA-809, “Weekly Oxygenate Report,”
8.EIA-810, “Monthly Refinery Report,”
9.EIA-812, “Monthly Product Pipeline Report,”
10. EIA-813, “Monthly Crude Oil Report,”
11. EIA-814, “Monthly Imports Report,”
12. EIA-815, “Monthly Bulk Terminal and Blender Report.”
13. EIA-816, “Monthly Natural Gas Liquids Report”
14. EIA-817, “Monthly Tanker and Barge Movement Report”
15. EIA-819, “Monthly Oxygenate Report”
16. EIA-820, “Annual Refinery Report.”
A copy of the forms and instructions is available at:
http://www.eia.doe.gov/oil_gas/petroleum/survey_forms/pet_
survey_forms.html
Weekly supply surveys are administered at seven key points along the
petroleum production and supply chain: (1) refineries, fractionators,
and gas processing plants, (2) bulk terminals, (3) product pipelines,
(4) crude oil stock holders, (5) importers, (6) blenders and (7) fuel
ethanol production facilities Monthly surveys also include interPAD District movements by pipelines, tankers, and barges. Weekly
Weekly Petroleum Status Report/Energy Information Administration
surveys do not capture petroleum movements. Data collected weekly
using Forms EIA-800 through EIA-805 and EIA-809 are similar to,
though less detailed than, the data collected monthly using Forms
EIA-810, EIA-812 through EIA-815 and EIA-819. Respondents
reporting to the weekly surveys constitute a sample of those reporting
on the monthly surveys.
Annual U.S. refinery capacity data are collected on the Form EIA820, “Annual Refinery Report.” These data are published in the
Refinery Capacity Report.
Weekly Supply Survey Methodology
Sampling Frame
The EIA weekly reporting system, as part of the Petroleum Supply
Reporting System (PSRS), was designed to collect data similar to
those collected monthly. The sample of companies that report weekly
in the WPSRS are selected from the universe of companies that report
on the corresponding monthly forms with the exception of the EIA801 in 2010.
The sampling frame for Form EIA-800 “Weekly Refinery Report”
includes refineries reporting on Form EIA-810 “Monthly Refinery
Report” as well as fractionators reporting on Form EIA-816 “Monthly
Natural Gas Liquids Report.” Monthly reports on Form EIA-810 are
required from operators of every operating and idle refinery located
in the 50 States, District of Columbia, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico,
and other U.S. territories. Monthly reports on Form EIA-816 are
required from operators of every operating and idle gas processing
plant, fractionator, and butane isomerization plant located in the 50
States and the District of Columbia.
The EIA-801 sampling frame consists of all companies reporting
ending stocks on the EIA-815, “Monthly Bulk Terminal and Blender
Report.” This includes every bulk terminal and blending facility
operating company located in the 50 States, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. A bulk terminal is primarily
used for storage and/or marketing of petroleum products and has a
total bulk storage capacity of 50,000 barrels or more, and/or receives
petroleum products by tanker, barge, or pipeline. Bulk terminal
facilities associated with a product pipeline are included.
The EIA-802 sampling frame consists of all companies reporting on
the EIA-812, “Monthly Product Pipeline Report.” This includes all
petroleum product pipeline companies that transport refined petroleum
products (including interstate, intrastate, and intracompany pipeline
movements) in the 50 States and the District of Columbia. Bulk
terminal facilities associated with a product pipeline are excluded.
The EIA-803 sampling frame consists of all companies reporting
on the EIA-813, “Monthly Crude Oil Report.” This includes all
companies that carry or store 1,000 barrels or more of crude oil.
Included are gathering and trunk pipeline companies (including
interstate, intrastate, and intracompany pipelines), crude oil
producers, terminal operators, storers of crude oil (except refineries),
and companies transporting Alaskan crude oil by water in the 50
States and the District of Columbia.
The EIA-804 sampling frame consists of all companies reporting on the
EIA-814, “Monthly Imports Report.” This includes each Importer of
Record (or Ultimate Consignee in some situations regarding Canadian
imports) that import crude oil or petroleum products (1) into the 50
States and the District of Columbia, (2) into Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands, Guam and other U.S. possessions (Midway Islands, Wake
Island, American Samoa, and Northern Mariana Islands), (3) Foreign
Trade Zones located in the 50 States and the District of Columbia and
(4) from Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and other U.S. possessions
into the 50 States and the District of Columbia.
The EIA-805 sampling frame consists of all companies reporting
inputs and production on the EIA-815, “Monthly Bulk Terminal and
Blender Report.” This includes all storage terminals which produce
finished motor gasoline through the blending of various motor
gasoline blending components, natural gas liquids, and oxygenates
in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin
Islands, Guam and other U.S. possessions.
The EIA-809 sampling frame consists of all operators of facilities
reporting fuel ethanol production on the EIA-819, “Monthly
Oxygenate Report.” This includes fuel ethanol production facilities
in the 50 States and the District of Columbia.
Sample Design
The sampling procedure used for the weekly surveys is the cutoff method. In the cut-off method, companies are ranked from
largest to smallest on the basis of quantities reported during some
previous period. Companies are chosen for the sample beginning
with the largest and adding companies until the total sample covers
approximately 90 percent of the total volumes for each item and each
geographic region for which data may be published. For example,
for distillate fuel oil stocks, the weekly sample includes those
respondents whose combined volumes of stocks for distillate fuel oil
from refineries, bulk terminals, and pipelines constitute at least 90
percent of the total volume of distillate fuel oil stocks as reported in
the corresponding monthly surveys.
To assure 90-percent coverage of the total for each item collected
and each geographic region for each weekly survey, the sample is
reviewed each month. This review focuses on changes in the current
monthly data as it relates to the weekly surveys, changes in the weekly
surveys that impact the monthly surveys, and changes in respondent
reporting patterns. Companies are added or removed from the surveys
based on the changes. Refer to Table B1 for sample size of weekly
surveys.
For the weekly surveys, better coverage will most likely reduce any
sampling error. As shown in Table B2, 2007 coverage was comparable
to 2006. Of the 21 product and supply type combinations, 19 had
coverage above 90 percent in 2007. For 13 of the 21 combinations,
2007 coverage decreased from 2006. Refinery finished motor gasoline
production had the largest percentage increase from 2006 to 2007,
increasing by 4.0 percent. The largest percentage decrease from 2006
to 2007 was for residual fuel oil imports, decreasing from 5.1 percent.
Tabulations were done before rounding of the coverage values. Total
motor gasoline production percentages include production from
blenders in addition to refiners.

Collection
Imputation and Estimation
Survey data for the WPSR are collected by facsimile, Internet using
secure file transfer, and electronic transmission on a weekly basis.
All respondents must submit their data by 5:00 p.m. on the Monday
following the end of the report period. The weekly report period
begins at 7:01 a.m. on Friday and ends at 7:00 a.m. on the following
Friday.
After company reports have been checked and entered into the weekly
database, values are imputed for companies that have not responded,
reported incomplete data, or reported data that failed editing and
could not be confirmed. The imputed values are calculated using
exponentially smoothed means of recent weekly reported values for
this specific company.
Processing
The equation for the exponential smoothing is:
Data collected through the WPSRS are received, logged into an
automated Survey Control File, keyed, and processed through an edit
program. Cell values determined to be unusual or inconsistent with
other cell values are flagged either by automated process or analyst
review. The validity of the value of each flagged cell is investigated.
From the investigation, some flagged values are either verified
or corrected by the respondent. Any remaining flagged values are
referred to as unresolved. Imputation is performed for nonrespondents
and unresolved data items. The cleansed data are further reviewed at
the aggregate level to determine if other data issues exist (see Macro
Editing).
A clean data file is available by the close of business Tuesday.
Corrections to previous periods, late submissions, or resubmissions
for the current period received after publication are used in editing
and imputation for the following periods (see Revision Policy).
36
Yt = α * yt + (1 - α) * Yt-1
where
Yt is the prediction for week t+1 (using data through week t),
yt is week t’s reported value,
Yt-1 is the prediction for week t (using data through week t-1),
α is a number between 0 and 1, chosen by survey/product/type
In the equation for exponential smoothing, the size of α controls
the importance of last week’s value relative to the aggregate of all
weeks before that as represented by the prediction for last week. For
example, if α = 0.8, then last week’s value is much more important in
predicting this week’s value than all the previous week’s values are
Weekly Petroleum Status Report/Energy Information Administration
since the weight of last week is 0.8 and the weight of the previous
weeks collectively is 0.2. In general, the α values for the expected
means of the non-zero responses are low for imports (last week is
much less important than history) and much higher for production,
inputs and stocks.
rt is week t’s ratio of the most recent monthly total for all respondents to the monthly total of respondents from the weekly sample,
The imputed values are treated like reported values in the estimation
procedure, which calculates ratio estimates of the weekly totals. First,
the current week’s data for a given product reported by companies in
a geographic region are summed (weekly sum, Ws.) Next, the most
recent month’s data for the product reported by those same companies
are summed (monthly sum, Ms.) Finally, the most recent month’s data
for the product as reported by all companies, including adjustments
made in the monthly process, is summed (Mt). The current week’s
ratio estimate for that product for all companies, Wt, is given by:
α is a number between 0 and 1, chosen by product but not by PADD/Respondent ID.
Wt= (Mt / Ms) * Ws
The ratio (Mt / Ms) may be adjusted to account for very unusual events
or industry changes not yet reflected in the lagged monthly data. For
example, the hurricanes in September 2005 rendered the September
data unrepresentative for purposes of applying the ratio to the WPSR
in December 2005. Note, however, the gasoline and ethanol fuel
adjustment is not included in Mt and is treated explicitly.
Rt-1 is the smoothed ratio for week t (using ratios through week t-1),
When Ms = 0, then rt is not defined for the week and the smoothed
ratio is not updated, that is, the previous smoothed ratio is used as the
multiplier.
Macro Editing
After the respondent-level data have been collected and processed.
The WPSR processing system is “locked down” to all staff except
a select group of industry analysts and statisticians, referred to as
the WPSR Review Team. Aggregate-level estimates are generated
by product and geographic region for the current week, three prior
weeks, year ago data for the same week, along with 4-week averages.
The WPSR Review Team has the responsibility for reviewing the
aggregated data for all products and resolving inconsistencies with
these estimates.
This procedure is used directly to estimate total weekly inputs to
refineries and production. When refineries are closed or inoperable,
the lagged monthly data impacts the estimate of operable capacity
and percent utilization in the WPSR. Operable capacity is the
latest reported monthly operable capacity. The percent utilization
is calculated as gross weekly inputs divided by operable capacity.
The use of monthly capacity data may result in an overestimate of
operable capacity and an underestimate of percent utilization until the
shutdown is shown in the monthly data.
Once the WPSR Review Team have completed their review,
preliminary WPSR tables are generated and provided to the
Petroleum Division Director (PDD) for review. At 4 p.m., the team
meets with the PDD for a final review and discussion of the estimates.
Discrepancies in the data are discussed and, if necessary, adjustments
are made and the final published statistics are generated for release on
Wednesday morning at 10:30 a.m.
To estimate stocks of finished products, the preceding procedure
is followed separately for refineries, bulk terminals, and pipelines.
Total estimates are performed by summing over establishment types.
The data are published in the WPSR and the TWIP every Wednesday
for the report period ending on the previous Friday. The WPSR tables
are released to the EIA Web site at 10:30 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time)
in CSV and XLS formats. The weekly highlights are released in PDF
format at 10:30 am. The entire WPSR is released at 1:00 p.m. in PDF
and HTML format. For weeks which include holidays (or have other
disruptions to normal operations), releases are delayed by one day.
The WPSR tables can be accessed at: http://www.eia.doe.gov/oil_gas/
petroleum/data_publications/weekly_petroleum_status_report/wpsr.
html.
Published values of gasoline production include a fuel adjustment to
account for the imbalance between supply and disposition of motor
gasoline blending components and fuel ethanol. For further detail,
refer to Additional Sources of Data, Data Obtained from Supplemental
Sources (below).
Weekly imports data are highly variable on a company-by-company
basis or a week-to-week basis. Therefore, an exponentially smoothed
ratio has been developed for weekly imports. The estimate of total
weekly imports is the product of the smoothed ratio and the sum of
the weekly reported values and imputed values.
For imports, the ratio is smoothed as follows:
Rt = α * rt + (1 - α) * Rt-1
where
Rt is the smoothed ratio for week t+1 (using ratios through week t),
Dissemination
Selected data from the weekly supply surveys are also published in
the This Week in Petroleum (TWIP) generally available at 1:00 p.m.
Eastern Time on Wednesdays. The TWIP can be accessed at: http://
tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/twip/twip.asp.
Additional Sources of Data
Due to the tight time constraints in publishing weekly petroleum
supply statistics and the desire to reduce industry response burden,
some of the statistics published in the WPSR are obtained from
sources other than the 7 weekly supply surveys. These other sources
include models to data and data from supplemental sources such as
the PSM or the Bureau of the Census.
Weekly Petroleum Status Report/Energy Information Administration
37
Data Obtained Through Models
Domestic Crude Oil Production (Tables 1 and 9)
A model is used to estimate weekly crude oil production. The weekly
production estimates are based on historical production patterns and,
where available, other data such as pipeline runs from the Alaskan
North Slope during the week. These weekly estimates of Alaskan
and Lower 48 crude oil production are presented as weekly, 4-week
average, and cumulative daily average domestic crude oil production
volumes.
Exports (Tables 1, 7, and 9)
Official U.S. exports statistics for crude oil and petroleum products are
compiled by the U.S. Bureau of the Census and are published in the
PSM. The EIA obtains these data on a monthly basis approximately
6 weeks after the close of the reporting month. Weekly, per day
estimates of exports for crude oil and petroleum products except
motor gasoline are forecast using an autoregressive integrated
moving-average (ARIMA) procedure. The weekly estimate is
updated when a new monthly estimate is calculated for the PSM. The
ARIMA procedure models a value as a linear combination of its own
past values and present and past values of other related time series.
The most recent 5 years of past data are used to obtain the exports
forecast. In addition, for residual fuel oil, 5 years of related price data
are used. The price data include some U.S. and some foreign series.
The weekly estimate is replaced when a new monthly estimate is
calculated for the PSM. The export estimate for motor gasoline relies
on the most recently available Census data to estimate current weekly
exports of motor gasoline.
Since the inputs to the model are based on export volumes that are 2
months old, analysts review the estimate to determine if current factors
such as hurricanes or other severe weather require an adjustment to
the weekly exports estimate.
Stocks of Other Oils (Tables 1, 4, 9)
Stocks of minor products (referred to as “other oils”) are not collected
on the weekly survey forms (Forms 800 through 805 and 809).
Minor products include aviation gasoline, other hydrocarbons and
oxygenates, aviation gasoline blending components, naphtha and
other oils for petrochemical feedstock use, special naphtha, lube oils,
waxes, coke, and miscellaneous oils. An estimate of weekly stocks of
minor products is derived by first computing an average daily rate of
stock change for the minor products for each month based on monthly
data for the past 6 years (Table 1 of the PSM). The daily stock change
for a month is estimated by subtracting the prior month’s end of month
other oils stocks from the current month’s end of month other oils
stocks and dividing by the number of days in the current month. This
average daily rate and the minor stock levels from the most recent
PSM are then used to estimate the minor product stock level for the
current week.
Since some of the components of the stocks of other oils are based
on values from past monthly data, analysts review the estimate to
determine if factors such as recent increases or decreases in crude
38
runs or reported outlier data require an adjustment to the estimate of
stocks of minor products.
Refinery Processing Gain (Table 1, Line 20)
Processing gain is the volumetric amount by which total output is
greater than input for a given period of time. This difference is due to
the processing of crude oil into products which, in total, have a lower
specific gravity than the crude oil processed.
Processing gain in the WPSR is calculated by dividing processing
gain from Table 29 of the PSM by Refinery and Blender Net Inputs
of Crude Oil in thousands of barrels per day from Table 3 of PSM for
each of the latest 12 months of the PSM. The 12 values are added
and divided by 12. The result is then multiplied by this week’s crude
oil input to refineries value in Table 1 of the WPSR to obtain the
processing gain value for the week.
Stocks of Crude Oil (Tables 1, 4, and 9)
The EIA-803 collects end of week crude oil stocks by PADD which
is a combination of stocks in pipelines and tank farms, terminals, and
on leases operated by the reporting company. Small, independent
producers of crude oil on federal leases are not required to report
on the EIA-803. An adjustment is made to the PADD 3 and PADD
4 stocks to correct for the understatement of lease crude oil stocks.
Values added for the adjustment are 10,300 thousand barrels in
PAD District 3 and 330 thousand barrels in PAD District 4. These
adjustments are reflected in total U.S. crude oil stocks in Tables 1, 4,
and 9 and in PAD District crude oil stocks in Tables 4 and 9.
Data Obtained from Supplemental Sources
Natural Gas Plant Liquids Production (Table 1, Line 16)
Natural Gas Plant Liquids Production is not collected on the
weekly surveys. The volume shown for “Natural Gas Plant Liquids
Production” is “Field Production” of “Natural Gas Plant Liquids
and Liquefied Refinery Gases” from Table 3, “U.S. Daily Average
Supply and Disposition of Crude Oil and Petroleum Products” of the
latest PSM. For further information see the Explanatory Notes in the
appendix of the PSM available at: http://www.eia.doe.gov/oil_gas/
petroleum/data_publications/petroleum_supply_monthly/psm.html
Other Renewable Fuels/Oxygenate Plant Production (Table 1,
Line 19)
“Other Renewable Fuels/Oxygenate Plant Production” is derived
from data on Table 3 of the latest PSM. It is derived by adding
Total “Renewable Fuels and Oxygenate Plant Net Production,” less
Renewable Fuels and Oxygenate Plant “Fuel Ethanol” production,
plus the adjustments to “Oxygenates (excluding fuel ethanol) and
adjustments to “Renewable Fuels Except Fuel Ethanol.” Other
Renewable Fuels/Oxygenate Plant Production includes production of
“Oxygenates (excluding fuel ethanol)” and “Renewable Fuels Except
Fuel Ethanol.” “Oxygenates (excluding fuel ethanol)” include ETBE,
MTBE, and E85 as well as input of denaturants for fuel ethanol at fuel
ethanol plants. For further information see the explanatory notes in

Other Supply Adjustment (Table 1, Line 25)
Other Supply Adjustment is equal to the sum of the “Adjustment”
for Refiner and Blender Net Production of Finished Motor Gasoline
from Table 2 of the WPSR and the adjustments to the supply for
“Hydrogen” and “Other Hydrocarbons” from Table 3 of the PSM.
Production of Finished Motor Gasoline Adjustment (Tables 2 and
9)
Production of finished motor gasoline reported in Tables 2 and
9 of the WPSR includes refinery production, blender production,
and adjustments to account for imbalances between supply and
disposition of motor gasoline blending components and fuel ethanol.
An adjustment is needed to finished motor gasoline production
because there typically is more supply than disposition reported for
motor gasoline blending components and fuel ethanol. Since there is
no end-user demand for motor gasoline blending components or fuel
ethanol, the imbalance is typically interpreted as unreported gasoline
production at blenders. Gasoline production adjustments are included
in Total US finished gasoline production reported in the WPSR. The
adjustment is the sum of the values required to balance the supply and
disposition of motor gasoline blending components and fuel ethanol.
Supply is production plus imports minus stock change. Disposition is
refinery and blender net production plus exports.
For motor gasoline blending components, production equals the
motor gasoline blending component adjustment value from Table 3 of
the PSM. Imports, stock change, and refinery and blender net inputs
are current weekly data; and exports are from the Petroleum Export
Model. For fuel ethanol, production equals ethanol plant production,
imports, stock change, and refinery and blender net inputs are current
weekly data and exports are from the Petroleum Export Model.
Additional details concerning gasoline adjustments are available in
Appendix B, “Detailed Statistics Explanatory Notes” of the PSM.
Quality
one respondent may lag that of another, resulting in the imports and
associated stocks being reported in different weeks. These timing
differences result in weekly variations in product supplied.
Non-sampling Errors
The weekly supply data are closely watched by market analysts and
are sometimes attributed to movements in both spot and futures
prices on the day the data are released. When petroleum markets are
particularly tight or when the data are not what the market is expecting,
(e.g. a build in inventories occurs when a decline is expected), the
weekly data take on a more significant role in the assessment of
petroleum markets, where such assessments affect billions of dollars
in the financial markets.
Non-sampling errors may arise in the survey estimates from a
number of sources including: (1) the inability to obtain data from all
companies in the frame or sample (non-response and the method used
to account for non-response), (2) response errors, (3) differences in
the interpretation of questions or definitions, (4) mistakes in recording
or coding of the data obtained from respondents, (5) data timing, and
(6) other errors of collection, response, coverage, and estimation.
Resubmissions
Resubmissions are required whenever an error greater than 5
percent of the true value is discovered or if requested by EIA. Late
submissions or resubmissions received after the publication date are
used for editing and imputation for future periods. In rare instances,
the data are used to publish a revised estimate. See Revision Policy
below.
Revision Policy
EIA will disseminate revised weekly data only if the revision is
expected to substantively affect understanding of U.S. petroleum
supplies. The decision to disseminate a revision to weekly data will
be based on EIA’s judgment of the revision’s expected effect. If a
revision is necessary, it will be disseminated in the next regularly
scheduled release of the weekly products.
Petroleum Historic Stock Ranges
Response Rates
The response rate for the weekly supply surveys is generally 95 to
100 percent. Chronic nonrespondents and late filing respondents are
contacted by telephone and reminded of their requirement to report.
Nearly all of the major companies report on time. The nonresponse
rate for the published estimate is usually between 1 percent and 2
percent.
Timing Issues
Timing of reported data can impact published results. For example,
the calculation of product supplied includes imports and change in
stock levels. Normally imports would result in a stock increase.
However, respondents recording inventories are frequently different
than the respondents reporting imports. The accounting system of
The 5-year high/low stock ranges displayed in Figures 1 through 6 are
provided to help WPSR users compare current petroleum inventories
to recent historic levels on a U.S. total and regional basis.
The 5-year ranges provide the reader with the highest and lowest
weekly stock levels for a given product by region over the equivalent
week during the prior five years. Current weekly stock estimates
published in the WPSR (labeled Weekly) are plotted in relation to
these 5-year stock levels (shaded area on the charts) for crude oil,
total motor gasoline, distillate fuel oil, kerosene-type jet fuel, residual
fuel oil, and propane inventories. The charts show two years of data,
covering periods either from December through December or June
to June.

Data Assessment
The principal objective of the PSRS is to provide an accurate picture
of petroleum industry activities and of the availability of petroleum
products nationwide from primary distribution channels. The weekly
data, which are based on sample estimates stemming largely from
preliminary company data, serve as leading indicators of the monthly
data. The weekly data are not expected to have the same level of
accuracy as the preliminary monthly data when compared with final
monthly data. However, the weekly data are expected to exhibit like
trends and product flow characteristic of the preliminary and final
monthly data.
To assess the accuracy of weekly statistics, monthly estimates derived
from weekly estimates are compared with the final monthly aggregates
published in the Petroleum Supply Annual (PSA). Although final
monthly data published in the PSA are still subject to error, they
have been thoroughly reviewed and edited, they reflect all revisions
made during the year, and they are considered to be the most accurate
data available. The mean absolute percent error provides a measure
of the average revisions relative to the aggregates being measured
for a variable. The mean absolute percent error for 2007 weekly data
was less than 2 percent for 22 of the 62 major petroleum variables
analyzed. As a group, stocks continued to have the most accurate
monthly from weekly estimates. The detailed analysis is available
in a feature article entitled “Accuracy of Petroleum Supply Data”

Confidentiality—Data protection and disclosure Weekly Supply Surveys
The information reported on Forms EIA-800 through EIA-805 and
EIA-809 is kept confidential and not disclosed to the public to the
extent that it satisfies the criteria for exemption under the Freedom
of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552, the DOE regulations,
10 C.F.R. 1004.11, implementing the FOIA, and the Trade Secrets
Act, 18 U.S.C 1905. The Energy Information Administration (EIA)
protects this information in accordance with its confidentiality and
security policies and procedures.
The Federal Energy Administration Act requires the EIA to provide
company-specific data to other Federal agencies when requested
for official use. The information reported on these forms may
also be made available, upon request, to another component of the
Department of Energy (DOE); to any Committee of Congress, the
General Accounting Office, or other Federal agencies authorized by
law to receive such information. A court of competent jurisdiction
may obtain this information in response to an order. The information
may be used for any nonstatistical purposes such as administrative,
regulatory, law enforcement, or adjudicatory purposes.
Disclosure limitation procedures are not applied to the statistical
data published from these surveys’ information. Thus, there may be
some statistics from forms EIA-800 through EIA-805 and EIA-809
that are based on data from fewer than three respondents, or that
are dominated by data from one or two large respondents. In these
cases, it may be possible for a knowledgeable person to estimate the
information reported by a specific respondent.

Company specific data are also provided to other DOE offices for the
purpose of examining specific petroleum operations in the context of
emergency response planning and actual emergencies.
Weekly Petroleum Price Surveys
Weekly Price Survey Methodology
EIA survey price data contained in this report are derived from two
weekly telephone surveys, the EIA-878, “Motor Gasoline Price
Survey,” and the EIA-888, “On-Highway Diesel Fuel Price Survey.”
These surveys provide timely information on national and regional
retail prices of gasoline and on-highway diesel fuel.
Sampling Frame
EIA-878, “Motor Gasoline Price Survey”
The EIA-878 sample was drawn from a frame of approximately
115,000 retail gasoline outlets. The gasoline outlet frame was
constructed by combining outlet information purchased from a private
commercial source with company-level information contained on
existing EIA petroleum product frames and surveys. Outlet names
and codes were obtained from the private commercial data source.
Company-level retail gasoline sales volumes by State were obtained
from EIA surveys. Additional information was obtained directly
from companies selling retail gasoline to supplement information
on the frame. The individual frame outlets were mapped to counties
using their codes. The outlets were then assigned to the published
geographic areas using their county assignment. Each outlet is
designated as either in an area requiring reformulated gasoline
(RFG) based on Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program
requirements or in an area designated as a conventional gasoline
area. Reformulated gasoline is required by the EPA in any area that
is designated as an ozone nonattainment area. A conventional area
is defined as any area that does not require the sale of reformulated
gasoline. All formulations of finished motor gasoline may be sold in
conventional areas.
EIA-888 “On-Highway Diesel Fuel Price Survey”
The EIA-888 frame was constructed using commercially available
lists from several sources. These sources were used to provide a
comprehensive coverage of truck stops and service stations that
sell on-highway diesel fuel in the contiguous United States. Due
to statistical and operational considerations, outlets in the States of
Alaska and Hawaii were excluded from the target population. The
frame includes around 62,000 service stations and 4,000 truck stops.
Based on information from other EIA survey data the four largest
on-highway diesel sellers in the nation were identified. This allowed
for classifying the outlets into three categories; service stations, midsized truck stops, and the top four.
Sample Design
EIA-878, “Motor Gasoline Price Survey”
The design is based on the definitions of publication cells and sampling
cells. A publication cell is defined by geography (PADD, State, and
city) and attainment status (reformulated or conventional gasoline).
Weekly Petroleum Status Report/Energy Information Administration
Hence, New York State reformulated gasoline is a publication cell.
New York City, conventional gasoline in PADD 1A (New England),
and all of the United States are also publication cells. A sampling
cell is defined as the smallest basic geographical unit formed by
the boundaries of the geographic and formulation areas for which
average prices are published. Thus, the part of New York State
where reformulated gasoline is required, but is not in New York City,
would be a sampling cell. Every county in the U.S. was assigned to a
sampling cell. Sampling cells are mutually exclusive and collectively
exhaustive.
The gasoline outlet sample is an area sample consisting of a sample
of outlets from the previous EIA-878 sample and an augmentation
sample of outlets from the new outlet frame described above. The
previous sample employed an entirely different sample design and
frame using a selection of companies within a State and then a
selection of outlets within the selected companies for that State. The
new sample includes approximately 50 percent of the noncertainty
sample from the previous sample to insure continuity in the historical
data series. The augmentation outlets were obtained by first sampling
counties and then sampling the outlets from the gasoline outlet frame
within those counties. After the counties were assigned to a sample
cell, the standard deviations of gasoline prices for these sampling
cells were estimated using the prices from the previous sample of
the gasoline survey. These standard deviations and the number of
stations from the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns (CBP)
were used to determine the required number of outlets to be sampled.
The statistical technique used was the Chromy allocation algorithm,
an iterative procedure to determine the number of units required for
each sampling cell. A Goodman-Kish PPS sampling method was used
to select counties, ordering counties within sampling cells by number
of stations. The required number of stations was randomly selected
from the outlet frame file within each selected county. Once this
augmentation portion of the sample was obtained, standard deviations
were re-estimated, combining the previous gasoline sample outlets
and newly sampled outlets. The Chromy algorithm was applied again
to determine the revised sample cell requirements. The previous
sample’s outlets were then sub-sampled to insure a self-weighting
sample within each stratum, and allocations satisfied by sampling half
from each of the self-weighting sub-sample and the old sample.
In determining the required sample size, the target coefficient of
variation for publication cells was set for 0.4 cents for the United
States, 0.55 for PADDs and U.S. formulations, 0.70 for sub-PADDS
and the PADD formulations, 0.85 for cities and states, and 1.0 for
the remaining published cells (i.e. state and sub-PADD formulations).
The sample size is approximately 800 outlets.
EIA-888 “On-Highway Diesel Fuel Price Survey”
The primary publication cells of the survey include Petroleum
Administration for Defense Districts (PADDs) 2, 3, 4, three subPADDs within PADD 1, and the two subparts of PADD 5 (the State of
California and the West Coast region excluding California). The U.S.,
the East Coast (PADD 1), and the West Coast (PADD 5) are considered
secondary publication cells since their prices are aggregated based on
the prices from their primary publication cell components. To select
the sample, allocations were first assigned to all primary publication
cells through a simulation of coefficients of variation of average prices
using historical price data. The target coefficient of variation for each
primary publication cell was capped at 1%. Allocations were further
assigned to the States covered by each primary publication cell.
The distribution of allocations was proportional to the annual State
total volume of retail on-highway diesel fuel sales. This allocation
procedure yielded a total target sample size of 403 retail outlets. The
States were treated as sampling strata in the sample design.
Based on information from other survey data and industry sources
the proportions of total diesel volumes sold by outlets in the three
categories (service stations, mid-sized truck stops, and top four)
were assumed to be 20%, 55%, and 25%, respectively. These volume
proportions, along with the outlet counts for the three categories on
the frame, were used to calculate relative size measures for the outlets
in each of the three categories. Pareto Sampling, which is a PPS
procedure, and the size measures for each outlet were then used to
select sampling units from each State.
Collection
Each Monday, the individual gasoline and diesel outlets are called and
asked to report the pump price of their products as of 8:00 a.m. local
time. If Monday is a holiday, the calls are made on the next business
day; however, the Monday price is still recorded. The collection takes
place using a computer assisted telephone interview (CATI) with built
in editing. Companies who prefer to report through their headquarters
on behalf of their selected outlets are allowed to do so. Companies
preferring to report by fax or email are also permitted to report by
that method. Data obtained through non-phone methods are entered
into the CATI system and treated the same as phone collected prices.
Nonrespondent firms are telephoned up to three times. The data are
collected more frequently during emergency situations.
In 2007, on-highway diesel prices were collected for two types of
diesel fuel, ultra low sulfur and low sulfur. This dual collection was
in response to the industry’s implementation of EPA requirements
phasing out the use of low sulfur diesel fuel. Publication of Low Sulfur
On-Highway Diesel (LSD) prices at the U.S. level was discontinued
on December 8, 2008 due to a diminishing number of stations selling
LSD as a result of EPA diesel fuel regulations. EIA continued to
collect LSD prices from retail outlets and included them in the Diesel
Average All Types price until July 26, 2010, when no more outlets
reported LSD sales. Beginning July 26, 2010 publication of the Ultra
Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) price became fully represented by the
Diesel Average All Types price. As of December 1, 2010 (September
1, 2006 in California), any on-highway diesel fuel sold is ULSD as
mandated by EPA on-highway diesel fuel regulations.
Processing and Micro Editing
The data are edited when they are entered into the CATI system,
normally during the phone interview. Respondents are asked to verify
prices that fail edits. If prices are outside a certain range or fail other
criteria (e.g. the price of a station’s fuel grade is the same or cheaper
than the price of a lower grade), respondents are also asked to explain
the reason for the extreme deviation in price. Data obtained through
non-phone methods are also entered into the CATI system. If the
data fail the edits, the respondents are called and asked to verify their
reported price(s). Imputation is used for outliers and nonrespondents.

spot prices to predict the direction and amount of change in the U.S.,

are run on both Fridays and Mondays. If the survey results differ
significantly from the model results, additional verification of the
reported prices is done.
In addition, in the middle of the weekly data collection, interviewing
stops in order to run a pre-check report on data which has already
been collected. This is done to test the integrity of the current data,
check for severe fuel price changes (i.e. bogus records), and re-set
any records which have been resolved. Bogus records discovered
during the pre-check are re-called to recheck or correct these prices.
Any edits introduced to the data by this process will be applied when
another pre-check or final processing is run.
Final processing takes place once all records in the CATI system have
been resolved. Many of the same tasks of the pre- check process are
repeated and final price estimates are created.
Imputation and Estimation
EIA-878, “Motor Gasoline Price Survey”
To estimate average prices, sample weights were constructed based
on the sampled outlet’s number of pumps as a proxy for sales volume.
These weights are applied each week to the reported outlet gasoline
prices to obtain averages for the specific formulations, grades and
geographic areas. Weights used in aggregating across grades,
formulations, and geographic areas were derived using volume data
from the EIA-782C “Monthly Report of Prime Supplier Sales of
Petroleum Products Sold for Local Consumption,” and demographic
data from the Bureau of the Census and Department of Transportation
on population, number of gasoline stations, and number of vehicles.
A “Coefficient of Variation of Price Report” is published weekly at:
http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/sampling_error_report.cfm
EIA-888 “On-Highway Diesel Fuel Price Survey”
The reported and imputed prices each week are aggregated in
multiple steps to obtain price estimates for publication cells. First,
State average prices are calculated as simple unweighted averages of
reported and imputed prices. Volumes of on-highway diesel sold in the
States in 2010, as published by the Federal Highway Administration,
are then used to weight the State average prices and obtain average
prices for primary publication cells. Average prices for secondary
publication cells are weighted averages of primary publication cell
prices based on the proportion of diesel volumes attributable to their
component primary publication cells. A “Coefficient of Variation of
Price Report” is published weekly at: http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/
gasdiesel/sampling_error.cfm
Macro Editing and Validation
EIA-878, “Motor Gasoline Price Survey”
Once the motor gasoline price data have been processed, the data are
checked through a validation program. The program identifies the
outliers in price changes from a week ago and in actual prices by
grade and region. Significant outliers are investigated and verified
by calling the respondent(s) and/or checking the fax or email from
the respondent.
42
EIA-888 “On-Highway Diesel Fuel Price Survey”
After processing, the outlet prices are checked by a diesel validation
program. The program identifies outliers and allows the analyst to
further examine the data. Significant outliers are investigated and
verified by calling the respondent(s) and/or checking the fax or email
from the respondent for explanations. Also, credit card transaction
prices are obtained from a private source and used to estimate a U.S.
and PADD level price for on-highway diesel fuel. If the survey results
differ significantly from these sources, additional verification of the
reported prices is done.
Dissemination
The retail gasoline and diesel prices are processed and released
around 5 p.m. each Monday, except on Federal holidays, in which
case the data are released on Tuesday (but still represent Monday’s
price). Retail gasoline and on-highway diesel fuel prices are released
on EIA’s website: http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/.
The data are also available through email notification to those
customers who sign up for that service. The U.S., PADD, and subPADD level regular gasoline and diesel fuel average prices are
available on EIA’s prerecorded telephone hotline at (202) 586-6966
and in this publication, the Weekly Petroleum Status Report.
Quality
Response Rates
The response rates on Forms EIA-878 and EIA-888 are usually 98 to
100 percent.
Sampling and Non-sampling Errors
Sampling Errors
Sampling errors are those errors that occur when survey estimates are
based on a sample rather than being derived from a complete census
of the frame. Tables showing data from the EIA-878 and EIA-888
surveys utilize a sample of resellers and retailers and, therefore, have
sampling error. The particular sample used for each of the EIA-878
and EIA-888 surveys is one of a large number of all possible samples
that could have been selected using the same design. Estimates
derived from the different possible samples would differ from each
other. The average of these estimates would be close to the estimate
derived from a complete enumeration of the population (a census),
assuming that a complete enumeration has the same nonsampling
errors as the sample survey. The sampling error, or standard error
of the estimate, is a measure of the variability among the estimates
from all possible samples of the same size and design and, thus, is
a measure of the precision with which an estimate from a particular
sample approximates the results of a complete enumeration.
Estimates of the sampling error for the EIA-878 can be found at:
http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/sampling_error_report.cfm
Estimates of the sampling error for the EIA-888 can be found at:
http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/sampling_error.cfm
Weekly Petroleum Status Report/Energy Information Administration
Non-sampling Errors
Non-sampling errors may arise from a number of sources including:
(1) the inability to obtain data from all companies in the frame or
sample (non-response and the method used to account for nonresponse), (2) response errors, (3) differences in the interpretation of
questions or definitions, (4) mistakes in recording or coding of the
data obtained from respondents, and (5) other errors of collection,
response, coverage, and estimation.
Revision Policy
EIA disseminates revised weekly data only if the revision is expected
to substantively affect users understanding of U.S. petroleum prices.
The decision to disseminate a revision to weekly data will be based
on EIA’s judgment of the revision’s expected effect. If a revision
is necessary, it will be disseminated in the next regularly scheduled
release of the weekly products.
Confidentiality—Data protection and disclosure
for Weekly Price Surveys
The information reported on the weekly price survey Forms EIA878 and EIA-888 is considered confidential in accordance with the
Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act
of 2002 (P.L. 107-347) and the information will be used solely for
statistical purposes. Instructions to the forms include the following:
“The information you provide will be used for statistical purposes
only. In accordance with the Confidential Information Protection
provisions of Title 5, Subtitle A, Public Law 107-347 and other
applicable Federal laws, your responses will be kept confidential
and will not be disclosed in identifiable form to anyone other than
employees or agents without your consent. By law, every EIA
employee, as well as every agent has taken an oath and is subject to a
jail term, a fine of up to $250,000, or both if he or she discloses ANY
identifiable information about you.”
Notes
volumes are estimates based on a number of sources which provide
data on production, consumption, and petroleum product exports for
these countries. Export volumes for a number of smaller producing/
exporting countries, not listed in the table, are included in the
weighting factors. After the export volumes had been determined,
simple mathematical weighted averages were calculated to arrive
at the Total OPEC, Total Non-OPEC, and Total World prices. The
average United States (FOB) import price is derived by the same
basic procedure as the world oil price that is, taking the representative
contract crude oil price of a specific crude oil from a particular
country and weighting this price by a certain volume of crude oil. In
this case, the weighting factors are the volumes of crude oil imported
into the U.S. from pertinent countries. Import volumes from a number
of smaller producing/exporting countries, not listed in the table, are
included in the weighting factors.
Note 2
The spot prices that are shown in Tables 11 and 12 are calculated by
taking an unweighted average of the daily closing spot prices for a
given product over a specified time period, such as a week or month.
Note 3
The futures prices shown in Table 13 are the official daily closing
prices at 2:30 p.m. from the trading floor of the New York Mercantile
Exchange (NYMEX) for a specific delivery month for each product
listed.
Note 4
The futures price differentials shown in Figure 9 show the market
premium for the first NYMEX delivery month contract over the
second. For example, the data for September show the difference
between October and November futures contract prices for crude
oil and petroleum products, indicating the relative values placed by
markets on commodities to be delivered during those two months.
This differential, if negative and large enough, provides incentive for
refiners and traders to hold product in storage, and if positive, to defer
purchases until some future point in time.
Note 1
Note 5
Calculation of World Oil Price
The retail gasoline prices shown in Table 14 reflect sales of
reformulated gasoline (RFG) in those areas where required by Federal
or State law and conventional gasoline elsewhere (see Figure B1).
Areas requiring RFG may change over time due to the ozone nonattainment status of an area being re-designated by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), a State opting in or out of an EPA clean fuel
program, or a State adopting its own specific clean fuel program. EIA
reclassifies the outlets reporting retail gasoline prices each time an
area shifts in or out of a reformulated gasoline program. Conventional
areas include areas where oxygenated gasoline may be required for all
or part of the year.
The weighted average international price of oil, shown in the
Highlights and in Table 10, is an average calculated using specific
crude oil prices weighted by the estimated crude oil export volume
for each oil-producing country. To develop Table 10, a list of major
oil producing/exporting countries was chosen. For each country, the
contract selling price of one or more representative crude oils was
determined by investigating a number of industry publications (i.e.,
Platt’s Oilgram Price Report, Wall Street Journal, and Canadian
Ministry of Natural Resources) and by contacting oil market
analysts. Then, the appropriate crude oil exporting volumes to be
used as weighting factors for each country were determined. These

Appendix D
Winter Fuels Explanatory Notes
Prices
The residential No. 2 heating oil and propane prices (excluding
taxes) for a given State are based on the results of two independent
telephone surveys of marketers and refiners, one for each of the two
products. Data are collected by State Energy Offices under the Energy
Information Administration (EIA) State Heating Oil and Propane
Program (SHOPP).
Sampling
Methodology
and
Estimation
Procedures for Residential No. 2 Heating Oil
The No.2 heating oil price data are reported by a statistical sample.
According to the requirement of the SHOPP program, 21 States and
the District of Columbia (DC) in the East Coast and Midwest regions
participate in the No.2 heating oil price survey. The sampling frame
used was a list of all Company State Units (CSUs) in those 21 States
and DC that reported residential No. 2 heating oil sales on the 2006
Form EIA-863, “Petroleum Product Sales Survey.” CSUs that sold
at least 5% of the residential No.2 heating oil in a State, as reported
in the frame survey EIA-863, were automatically included in the
sample and are referred to as certainty units. The remaining CSUs,
referred to as non-certainty units, were stratified into three groups by
their residential No.2 heating oil sales volumes in each State. Strata
boundaries were determined using the Dalenius-Hodges procedure.
The sample allocations were designed generally to yield average price
coefficients of variation (CV) of 1%, but, due to budget constraints,
individual State sample sizes were capped at 35 even if the target
CV was not met. In addition, a minimum size of 15 was required for
each of the 21 States. The sample of CSUs within each stratum was a
simple random sample. The residential No.2 heating oil sample size
inclusive of certainty and non-certainty units is 527 CSUs.
changes in the amounts sold. Price indexes constructed using fixed
volumes, such as these annual sales, are known as Laspeyres Indexes.
One alternative method of weighting, used in Paasche Indexes, uses
current weights. This method would require each company to report
the number of gallons sold at the reported price each pricing period
and would be more burdensome on the companies. Both methods
of weighting are correct but provide different averages particularly
when volumes are changing. It has been argued in the literature that
during periods of change, the Laspeyres method has a tendency to
overestimate price changes, while the Paasche method tends to
underestimate price changes.
In this survey, it is expected that the change in volumes weekly
during the heating season is small. Residential sales are not bulk in
nature and do not tend to reflect discounts on price for large volume
purchases. Absolute changes in volume within a year’s time would
more likely reflect demand and be consistent across companies within
a geographical area. Therefore, even though the volume weights used
in the calculation of average prices in the SHOPP tend to lag behind
the actual volumes sold in the reference period, fixed volumes are
used to reduce company burden and enable timely release of average
prices.

State level residential No. 2 heating oil average prices are then
aggregated into regional and overall averages with State level total
residential No. 2 heating oil volumes as weights.
The propane price data are reported by a statistical sample. According
to the requirement of the SHOPP program, 24 States in the East
Coast and Midwest regions participate in the propane price survey.
The sampling frame used was a list of all Company State Units
(CSUs) in those 24 States that reported residential propane sales on
the 2006 Form EIA-863, “Petroleum Product Sales Survey.” The
population of the survey was first stratified by State which is the
publication cell. Due to high residential propane price variation and
budget constraints, sample sizes of all strata were limited to 30 even
though the target CV of 1% was not met in many States. To select the
sample, the CSUs in each State were ordered by zip code in order to
control for the geographic location of the companies. A Probability
Proportional to Size (PPS) Systematic Sample with Probability
Minimum Replacement, using the propane volumes reported in the
frame survey EIA-863 as a measure of sampling unit size, was then
selected from this ordering. With the targeted maximum sample size
of 30 CSUs in each State, any CSU that sold more than 3.3% (1/30)
of the residential propane in a State was selected at least once. Within
each sampled CSU, a simple random sample of residential propane
outlets was drawn by using an outlet address listing EIA developed
with information provided by the industry and State energy officials.
The number of outlets selected from each CSU was the same as
the number of times that CSU was selected in the PPS sample. The
resulting total number of outlets selected to report on the propane
sample was 720.
These fixed volume weights indicate the relative importance of the
individual companies according to the size of their sales at the time of
the frame. Therefore, changes in the average price across time reflect
only the change in the price being offered by the company, and not
In cases where there were fewer outlets in a sampled CSU than the
number of times that CSU was sampled in the PPS sample, all outlets

for that CSU were selected and their weights were adjusted to n i / n i ,

where n i is the number of times that CSU was sampled and ni is
To estimate the average residential No. 2 heating oil price data for
a State, the sample and volume weights are applied to the reported
price, summed and divided by the sum of the weighted volume:
where wij = sample weight, vij = volume weight, pij = price, i =
respondent, nj = sample size of stratum j, and s = number of strata.
The sample weights wij were calculated as ratios of population number
of CSUs to the sampled number of CSUs in each stratum. Volume
weights vij were assigned using the data reported in the frame survey.

preferred to report on the survey by providing the average of all its
outlets in a given State.). Therefore, the actual number responding

and final. The difference between preliminary and final data is called
the revision error.
To estimate the average residential propane price data for a State, a
simple average of the prices from each sampled outlet yields a valid
estimate as a result of the cancellation of sample weights of the PPS
sample design and volume weights in the estimate:
